The wisdom of Ayurveda is encapsulated in the ancient Sanskrit texts:
“वय वयरनाम अतुरय वकार शमनंच।” (Swasthasya Swasthya Rakshanam Aturasya Vikara
Prashamanam Cha)
“हत अहतंसुखं खंअयुतय हतहतम् | मनंच तचा योम्आयुवदः स उयते।।” (Hita Ahitam Sukham Dukham
Ayustasya Hitahitam | Manam Cha Tatcha Yatroktam Ayurvedah Sa Uchyate||)
This shloka defines Ayurveda as the science that describes what is beneficial and harmful to life, what
leads to happiness and sorrow, and the measurement of life itself.
Through these principles, Ayurveda plays an essential role in both preventive and curative
healthcare, making it a necessity in today’s fast-paced lifestyle.
